Buying advice

Choose a synth that matches your workflow: polyphonic models like the Minilogue XD or Prophet Rev2 for layered pads, monophonic units like the Grandmother for bass and leads, or modular-friendly options like the MiniBrute 2S and Neutron for patching. Consider price, built-in effects, and connectivity (CV/Gate vs. USB/MIDI) to find the best fit for your studio or live setup.
